Steel Stories delves into why the steel industry is hard to abate, the importance of technology scaling and commercialization, and the core differences between an electric arc furnace and a blast furnace. Guest Brenda Petrilena also shares U. S. Steel’s own 2030 objective for a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1 and 2), as well as the even more intense 2050 objective and how the industrial decarbonization program has supported the advancements of transformational technologies.
